BY BETHANY ROLSTON

Puahue Playcentre is a prime example of the community working together to create a better future for children. The rural playcentre is on a mission to beautify its premises and raise funds for new resources. Playcentres’ running costs are government- funded and any extra costs must be funded by community efforts. So the Puahue Playcentre has planned a children’s market to be held on Saturday, May 13. It will be held at the Methodist Church Hall, Bank Street from 9am to midday.
